Wow. A brilliant article. Thank you, so, so much for this. You made so many excellent points. I agree with everything you said. Should we really be afraid to speak up when we see an injustice, whether the boat slip guy or the wrong coffee order?? I don't think so.
Our world has got to the point where in the pursuit of freedom of speech, we are now afraid to say anything at all.
I totally support you in speaking up when something is wrong and if others don't like it, they can take a long walk off a short pier.
